thanks whs and zigzag. I also asked why do need that much. He told that for his programing works(most network based) he needs to have 3 4 virtual machines opened. I dnt knw much about it. But just I doubt that i would make the notebook run little slower because managing this kind of huge ram(for a dv-6, i think its little bit overloaded). You know that, too much of anything wont do much good :)

Thanks again. I think Im wrong based on your answers. Yet to mention that its a old dv-6 we're talking here.
And guys, it would be much help if you can suggest some good memory brands with your expierience? (g-skill, crossair??)

If he needs to run 4 VM's concurrently, having more than 8GB of RAM will likely be necessary. However, with as fast as VM boots and come out of being suspended, it doesn't seem to me like he would need to them running at the same time, but could rather cycle through them.

thank you pparks. I told da same thing too. i have 3 VMs on my notebook too in just 6gig. How ever its his choice though a little waste of bucks. Can you suggest me some of good ram names for notebooks? I use gskill on my desktop. Bt not sure about notebook rams. Would gskill, crossair go along with notebooks too?

i am currently running 16 gigs in my msi gt683 and the ONLY noticable gain is that i can give a vm 6 gigs and it keeps the speed up (ubuntu vm for building android roms) but in windows/games/applications zero

and the only reason its 16 is the lappy came with 12 and the 4th ram slot looked lonely

Windows 7 with 16Gb ramim running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. Why do i only see 8Gb as opposed to 16Gb ?
My motherboard will run up to 16Gb. I have 4 x 4Gb sticks.
Cheers Mike

16GB ramI felt a bit flush recently and bought 4 x 4gb ddr2 stick to upgrade my main PC. Just run a few things and its obviously better than my previous 4GB total however I noticed, for example, divx conversion only used 56MB of memory and there is still so much free.
Is this much memory a waste? If so...
